Had not seen this head and neck surgeon before he was really excellent, and I feel confident having an outpatient surgery with him

Dr. Topf is excellent. He has a good manner and also gets right to the point about his observations. Head and neck cancer can be scary as any radiation, surgery or complications during and after treatment can leave the patient feeling vulnerable, and at risk for dysfunction and disfiguration should the long term side effects or the disease comes back. I always leave like I am cared for an everything is going to be alright no matter whatever comes up.

Dr Topf is a remarkable doctor. HisKindness and personal attention to my wife and I made a huge difference in the experience. This is the best care I have ever received. He understood my anxiety with a cancer diagnosis and was very effective in addressing those.
